We are witnessing the starving and the crippling of an entire generation.
— UN Secretary General

Why is there so little discussion of the U.S. role in perpetuating this ongoing catastrophe?
And what can we, as Americans, do about it?

The UN describes Yemen as having one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world today. A UNICEF report says 9.6 million children (80% of all the children in Yemen) need humanitarian assistance, and the World Food Program predicts the deaths of 150,000 malnourished children in the next few months. The current cholera outbreak, a direct result of this siege, reached its millionth case and has been characterized as the worst and fastest spreading cholera epidemic in modern history.
